Hi

Many years ago, Hermitworks Entertainment released Space Trader: Merchant Marines for Linux x86, which was available for a short period of time. The later releases worked only on Windows and Mac, but they released the source code for this game before the company closed in 2008:




Do you think it will be possible to build it for OpenPandora/Pyra and Linux x86-64?
 
You can always add port request in the port-request thread. But here it should be visible to :)

Thank you for your advice.

I hope someone will notice it, and maybe, I won't have to do it.

I remember when this game was released for Linux in 2007, but I didn't buy it. I didn't know it had single-player mode. Linux users probably don't know a Linux version existed because Wikipedia and Moby Games don't mention it:



It's the last commercial FPS game for Linux based on the Quake III engine. Some online stores still sell the versions for Windows and Mac.

Linux users lost access to Space Trader 17 years ago, but with the source code, it's still possible to revive it as an open source project. The founder of Hermitworks Entertainment later became one of the co-founders of Beamdog.
